COMMERCIAL.
-he New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company report (for August 9th) the increased growth of wool has had little effect on the current value of sheepskins in the Gisborne market. Hides—Those coming forward are mostly light in weight, averaging from 40 to 501bs, and consequently do not command top prices. Tallow and fat—A fair outside demand exists, and returns should be satisfactory to vendors. Grass seed— The approach of spring already exercises an appreciable influence on this market, and one or two parcels have been placed at a slight advance on our last quotations.— There is considerable enquiry just now for land in this district, and several properties are changiug hands. The following are the prices quoted Sheepskins, 3s to 3s 6d ; hides, per lb. 3s to 4s ; tallow (mutton) per cwt, 28s to 31s ; grass seed (rye) per 201bs, 3s to as.
